    An excellent venue if you are looking for modern Italian and a special occasion place for a small or large group. The service is excellent. The outdoor seating at the one in the foothills in the Tucson area is fabulous with a great view of the Catalina Mtns and beautiful large potted plants.

    I have never had a negative experience here with the service or the food. The food is excellent every time. The only issue is the noise level, both inside and on the covered patio. However, it is not their fault that during our lunch on the covered patio landscapers were using chainsaws to trim trees or the Waste Management truck was backing up with its warning horn right outside. I think noise levels are a problem everywhere if we listen to what's in our environment.

    I was seated on the patio (per my request) and enjoyed The Americano brunch. There were a lot of other diners but we were spaced nicely so as to not be bothersome to each other. There were outdoor heaters and fire pits to help with the slightly chilly air. Service was a good pace considering how busy they were and all the staff was friendly.

    Service is okay. Took 20 minutes to get our wine, we know it’s busy but it doesn’t take 20 minutes to pour wine, it’s not a cocktail… then our sever was gone for 10-20 minutes at a time. Terrible service. Wrong dish. Cold pasta.

    Should have some vegan options for even the salads. Vegans need protein so nuts and or seeds to add to salad is a good option while taking out the cheese. Also wait staff should know if you have decaf tea.

    If you like lots of activity around you, inside North Italia is fine. But we wanted a quieter atmosphere, so we chose outside dining. The servers are wonderful and the food, delicious. Only downside is the for the person facing the street, headlights in his/her eyes, of the cars coming that way, every so often.

    Food was not as anticipated. It was mediocre. I do have some idea of how Italian food should taste growing up in a neighborhood heavily populated by Italian families. Often ate in family run neighborhood restaurants and the food here did not compare. Eggplant parma was not crisp, and sliced too thick. It would have need better in a simple red sauce rather than vodka sauce. We specifically requested seating in rear patio but were seated in the front area. While that was ok it’s nonetheless not what was specified well ahead of time . Once seated the staff, however, was excellent, friendly and very helpful in answering our questions. Overall too expensive for the quality.
